Reflections on assortative mating, social stratification, and genetics
J Genet. 2024;103:15.ABSTRACTA recent report by G. Clark points to a sustained persistence of social status in England that extends vertically across several generations and horizontally across many levels of kinship. We seek to put his findings in historical perspective. We do so by relating them to two lines of thinking related to biological inheritance. One predated the rediscovery of Mendel's work and led to the field of quantitative genetics, which dealt on the whole with quasi-continuously varying traits. The other is based on the rediscovery itself and led to a reconciliation between quantitative genetics and discre...

Brazilian Women in Paralympic Sports: Uncovering Historical Milestones in the Summer Paralympic Games
Adapt Phys Activ Q. 2024 Apr 22:1-14. doi: 10.1123/apaq.2023-0139. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTThe journey of Brazilian female Paralympians transcends mere statistical increases in women's participation. Behind the modest athlete growth lies the reality of women who are doubly marginalized by the intersection of gender and disability in an arena tailored for able-bodied men. Our study aimed to catalyze critical discourses surrounding the historical trajectory of Paralympic women's sports. Through a comprehensive documentary analysis based on the Brazilian Paralympic Committee's official documents from 1976 to 2021, we so...

Race, immunity, and lifespan: Unraveling the effect of early-life exposure to malaria risk on lifespan
Econ Hum Biol. 2024 Apr 12;54:101382. doi: 10.1016/j.ehb.2024.101382. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTWe investigate a historical experience to measure the long-term effect of malaria on lifespan among infected survivors and identify a factor that mitigates malaria's effect. Using a sample of Union Army veterans born during the mid-19th century and their lifetime records, we show that exposure to high risk of malaria at birth or in early life substantially shortened their lifespan. The legacy of exposure to malaria is robust while controlling for lifetime socioeconomic and health conditions, fixed effects, and considering se...

Training physiotherapy students in basic wheelchair provision. Experiences at two universities in Colombia
This study aimed to describe a training intervention for two groups of future physiotherapists in Colombia, assess cohort differences in performance on a knowledge test, and explore their post-training perceptions. A quantitative retrospective study with a historical, descriptive-comparative design was conducted. 525 sixth-semester participants completed the International Society of Wheelchair Professionals Wheelchair Service Provision - Basic Test online in Spanish after curriculum modifications were implemented. The test assesses knowledge in seven domains: Assessment; Prescription; Products; Fitting; User training; Foll...
